This 1963 Caribou was originally with the Kuwait Air Force. Brought back to Canada in 1977, it's pictured with Kelowna Flightcraft, operating the freighter 1980 - 84. Air North and Kenn Borek Air later flew the aircraft before Newcal Aviation bought it in 1992, stored at Gimli, MB and slated for turbine conversion. Crash of the prototype turbine conversion in August 1992 saw it go to Air Tindi in 1993 before sold to the USA as N112CH in 1997. Based at New Smyrna Beach, FL with Vintage Props and Jets, the aircraft was damaged by high winds in 2001. It became derelict and was later broken up.

Written off in a landing accident at Port Alsworth AK on 29 Aug 2001.

Ex Abu Dhabi Army Air Wing 304. Last registered to New Cal Aviation and arrived at Luqa airport in July 1984 where it remained. The aircraft was dismantled in 1994 and the fuselage transferred to the International Safety Training Centre compound. It later moved to Extreme Paintball at Ta Qali.

A little bit of a squeeze this one. Originally USAF 62-4160. To Jan Helicopters (Philippines) Sep 2000 as RP-C2702. Noted stored Clarkfield 2008.

N400NC taxiing back to the hangar after completing its "Maiden Flight," November 16, 1991. Note the aircraft is still in NewCal Aviation titles. Sadly, though, on August 27, 1992, the aircraft crashed at the Gimli Airport while on a test flight because an elevator gust lock re-engaged due to a design flaw.

While there to witness the event, I was able to capture this close up of N400NC, moments before the wheels left the ground for the first time as the aircraft departed the Gimli airstrip on its "Maiden Flight," November 16, 1991. Sadly though, on August 27, 1992, the aircraft crashed at the Gimli Airport while on a test flight because an elevator gust lock re-engaged. This was due to a design flaw.

The RAAF experimented with Caribou camouflage in the mid 1980s. This is one of those not adopted, with medium green and tan upper surfaces and black undersides.

Written off when it crashed 20 Mar 86 whilst on final approach to Lime Village AK. The narrative from ASN is very short and simply states that the aircraft pitched up, rolled left, crashed into trees and caught fire.
